Craig, I think that is the point. There is no legit lead-off man on this team, only the lesser of 8 evils. If Soriano were to break down (eh hem…) I could see Sveum throwing the book out the window, moving Byrd to LF, inserting Lil’ Tony Campana (my guy!!!) in CF and leading HIM off. Until then with Soriano leading off there will be a better chance of him pulling a muscle…or something?? That might be Sveum’s plan, get Sorry more AB’s hope for the DL?
